    About this experience

    Imagine starting your walking tour in the heart of the countryside, surrounded by golden fields of wheat that sway gently with the breeze. As you enter the woods, the landscape changes: the terrain becomes more bumpy, the sounds of nature intensify. Here, among imposing trees and dense foliage, you can see the wild life in its most authentic form. You may encounter a curious squirrel jumping between the branches, or maybe spot a wild rabbit creeping through the trees. Crystal clear streams run through the forest. Their soothing murmur accompanies you along the way, inviting you to take a break and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature. Arrived at the lake, we will see the turtles usually sunbathe on the floating trunks, immersed in a tranquility that seems out of time. You can sit on the bank, letting your gaze wander into the horizon reflected on the water.

      During our walk, I will lead you to discover the most secret corners of the city forest, revealing the animals (including wild rabbits, herons, squirrels, frogs, turtles etc.) and the flora that populate it. At the end of the route, we will enjoy a short picnic of about twenty minutes on the shores of the lake, admiring the turtles and enjoying the beautiful panoramic view, before returning to the starting point.

    Davide is a great tour...

    Davide is a great tour guide who grew up in Milan. Finding this urban oasis in the middle of the city is a gem.

    Wonderful

    A wonderful walk through the urban forest. Knowledgeable guide. I had a great walk and it was a welcome break from the chaos of Milan

    Beautiful experience in nature in Milan!!

    Beautiful trekking experience of over two hours in the City Woods, wonderful green space created by Italia Nostra in the 70s. David is a very prepared, nice, friendly and polite young man. He loves these spaces as his home and transmits to you in the walk all the wonder of being in Milan but it does not seem Milan: a forest, wet spaces, the Water Garden with water lilies, ponds with white and gray herons, the pond with turtles, farms, vegetable gardens with hives and meadows. He knows suggestive paths and the ring tour often touches the canals that cut through the woods. The aperitif offered on the platform with the wooden benches of the pond is also beautiful, while the cormorants ( !!! ) dry their wings on the trees. Davide also organizes the bike tour and accompanies tourists from all over the world. I'm from Milan, I'm 62 years old and I knew this place, I've been there, but I never got the emotions that Davide transmits as he makes you discover hidden corners and unknown paths. Beautiful experience, I recommend it to everyone!

    The forest in the city

    Beautiful experience that allows you to see the city of Milan no longer crowded and chaotic but quiet, silent and surrounded by greenery. Davide is very helpful, knows the history of the neighborhood well and is able to tell it with great enthusiasm. Recommended tour in any season, especially in late summer to avoid the too hot summer and early autumn to enjoy the change of colors of nature.

    Trekking in the Wood with picnic on the turtles lake: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Milan.

    How much does Trekking in the Wood with picnic on the turtles lake cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Milan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Trekking in the Wood with picnic on the turtles lake take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Milan is not rushed.

    Is Trekking in the Wood with picnic on the turtles lake worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Milan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Trekking in the Wood with picnic on the turtles lake?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Trekking in the Wood with picnic on the turtles lake suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Trekking in the Wood with picnic on the turtles lake?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Milan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Milan and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Trekking in the Wood with picnic on the turtles lake start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Milan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Milan?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Milan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gnocchi, Pasta, Tiramisù and Wine Class, Milan: Pasta and Tiramisu Small Group Cooking Class with Wine, Milan's Hidden Gems: Unique Bike Tour (ENG, NL). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Milan?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Milan?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
